I'm in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where teacher-librarianship is alive and well.We have been very fortunate ans have worked hard to stay on the cutting edge of the direction of education in our province. I do wish you well in your great loss and know that Linda will be remembered through her literary contributions. Thank you so much for your comment- your sister’s work is much loved in our circles.

I felt her loss deeply since we were the best of friends, as well as sisters, and having Broken Thread published was some consolation. She's left a wonderful legacy in her books. By the way, I'm a librarian too, for a Faculty of Education so share your passion for children's books. I'm so thrilled that you're a teacher-librarian (they're an unfortunately dying-breed in this province). Where are you located? Hi Jane,

Linda really knew how to create a believable fantasy world where the characters and setting become very "real". I would have loved to read a sequel to Broken Thread.

I LOVED this book! Part of the reason this book drew me, was that I am needleworker myself and the premise with the weaving I thought was a great way to introduce the dilemma. That being said, the rest of the book was great as well! I agree! I LOVED this book!
